In her X post, Mahima Jalan shared how she was scammed by a fraud selling fake tickets for Diljit Dosanjh’s show. “Fraud alert on X: This account Dharmendra Singh (Crigyan07) has scammed me and few more on X by selling fake tickets of Diljit Dosanjh’s show. He took 15k from me, 6k from my friend and god knows how much money from others. And the worst part, he is still scamming people. I’ve tried texting him from other number. I’ve filed a complaint with Online Cyber cell. @Cyberdost @DelhiPolice please take immediate action so that he can stop this scam.”

How users reacted
- “This same screenshot is circulating on the internet, and many scammers are trying to make money off of it! Never buy tickets like this! Even if he had shared it with you, he could have sold the same tickets to multiple people!”
- “What is disheartening is that educated people fall for things like this.”
- “People don’t do proper research.”
- “I hope the police help. Next time, only pay 10% online and the remaining on receiving the ticket (physically/virtually).”
- “That’s sad. First thumb rule. Never trust. Especially for such events like this. People are always finding ways to dupe others. And people fall for it.”
- “That’s too much, but why did you trust this kind of stranger at the first place.”
